building characters through voice & accent

About this event

The Event

Work with Oscar-winning dialect coach Audrey LeCrone in this one-day intensive! This is for actors interested in the type of embodied accent work you see in the Oscar-nominated movies every year. You will learn how to believably play a character with a different accent than your own. We will go in depth into the process, giving you concrete steps to approach a new role --from accent design to performance to maintaining the voice throughout a film shoot.

What You'll Learn

• Learn how to analyze and "try on" global accents in English with imitation techniques

• Get a repeatable process to break down any accent

• Understand effective ways to mark a script in the target accent

• Bridge the gap between doing an accent and being in character

• Use scene study to combine accent work with acting work

• Put the performance on camera with personalized feedback

• Dive deeper to find out how to maintain an accent throughout a full shoot

Testimonials

"Working with Audrey always eased my mind and spirit. Her approach is to honor the character with the acting coming first, and the accent is the sweet touch. She has a gentle yet firm and knowledgeable hand with dialect and how to teach it. It has been such a privilege to work with her and I look forward to doing it again and again."

--Dominique Fishback, Emmy-nominated American actress

“Audrey is without a doubt the best accent coach I have worked with and continue to work with. On top of that she is so much fun but you get the results. My first TV gig was a US production and the American actors thought I was an actor from New York as per my character - so thank you Audrey.”

--Chris Ryman, British Actor

"Working with Audrey is fascinating. Not only does she help me with accent work, but we also work on my acting choices. She teaches me about American culture through the language and how that can directly affect the expressions of a character."

--Miguel Angel Silvestre, Spanish Actor
